Do you know what makes a complete sentence? Can you identify a sentence fragment? How about a run-on? (Can you find the fragment in this paragraph?) Answers are at the bottom of the page.
Directions: If a group of words is a sentence, write sentence. If it is a fragment, write fragment. Remember that sentences express a complete thought. If a group of words is missing a subject, predicate, or both, it is a sentence fragment.
Example: My sister's cat.
Answer: fragment
Directions: Correct these sentence fragments by adding the missing parts. Answers will vary. Use your creativity to make fun sentences!
Example: my sister's cat
Possible Answer: My sister's cat is adorable.
Directions: If a group of words is a sentence, write sentence. If it is a run-on sentence, write run-on, and correct the sentence so that it is no longer a run-on. Remember that a run-on sentence is two or more sentences written incorrectly as one. For more information on fixing run-on sentences, see this page.
Example: My dog is cute, his name is George.
Answer: Run-on. Correction: My dog is cute. His name is George.
Answers will vary for this grammar quiz. Here are some possible answers.
The answers for the run-on sentence corrections will vary since there are a few different ways that you can fix run-on sentences.
